Teen Chesed

American girls in Michlelet, a NCSY summer program in Israel, cheer the kallah (bride) for whom they organized a bridal shower and wedding when the bride’s family was unable to do so. “I’ll never forget the smile on the kallah’s (bride’s) face when we gave her all the presents,” said Aliza Hirsch, a 16-year-old student at Stella K. Abraham High School in Hewlett Bay Park. Hirsch was one of 24 Five Towns girls in Michlelet.
